Use ofEstimates
In preparingthese CFS in accordance with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilitiesin the balance sheets as well as revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Onan on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those allowances for bad debt, impairment loss on fixed assets and constructionin progress, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various otherassumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments aboutthe carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other resources.
RevenueRecognition
A) Sales-typeLeasing and Related Revenue Recognition
The Companyfollows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. TheCompany’s sales type lease contracts for revenue recognition fall under ASC 842. During the six months ended June 30,2025 and 2024, the Company did not sell any new power generating projects.
The Companyconstructs and leases waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers. The Company typically transfers legal ownershipof the waste energy recycling power generating projects to its customers at the end of the lease.
The Companyfinances construction of waste energy recycling power generating projects. The sales and cost of sales are recognized at the inceptionof the lease, which is when control is transferred to the lessee. The Company accounts for the transfer of control as a sales type leasein accordance with ASC 842-10-25-2. The underlying asset is derecognized, and revenue is recorded when collection of payments is probable.This is in accordance with the revenue recognition principle in ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with customers. The investment in sales-typeleases consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable less unearned interest income and estimated executory cost. Minimumlease payments are part of the lease agreement between the Company (as the lessor) and the customer (as the lessee). The discount rateimplicit in the lease is used to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments. The minimum lease payments consist of the grosslease payments net of executory costs and contingent rentals, if any. Unearned interest is amortized to income over the lease term toproduce a constant periodic rate of return on net investment in the lease. While revenue is recognized at the inception of the lease,the cash flow from the sales-type lease occurs over the course of the lease, which results in interest income and reduction of receivables.Revenue is recognized net of value-added tax.
7
B) ContingentRental Income
The Companyrecords income from actual electricity generated of each project in the period the income is earned, which is when the electricity isgenerated. Contingent rent is not part of minimum lease payments.
C) Operationand Maintenance Income
The Company records income fromperform operation and maintenance services to third parties in the period the income is earned, which is based on the service performancefulfilled over time. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company signed RMB
OperatingLeases
The Companydetermines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the presentvalue of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicitin the lease is not readily determinable for an operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on informationavailable at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”)assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representthe Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amountof the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ROU assetsare reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to theimpairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.
ROU assets are tested for impairmentindividually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of otherassets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowestlevel for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The Companyrecognized no impairment of ROU assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Operatingleases are included in operating lease ROU and operating lease liabilities (current and non-current), on the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash
Cash includescash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturityof three months or less as of the purchase date.
AccountsReceivable
The Company’s policy isto maintain an allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivableand analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customerpayment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accountsreceivable.
Advanceto suppliers
Advanceto suppliers consist of balances paid to suppliers for materials that have not been received. The Company reviews its advances to supplierson a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the ability of a supplier to provide suppliesto the Company or refund an advance.
Shortterm loan receivables
The Companyprovided loans to certain third parties for the purpose of making use of its cash.
8
The Company monitors all loansreceivable for delinquency and provides for estimated losses for specific receivables that are not likely to be collected. Managementperiodically assesses the collectability of these loans receivable. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowancefor doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of June 30, 2025 and December31, 2024, the Company did not accrue allowance against short term loan receivables.
Concentrationof Credit Risk
Cash includescash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within China. Balances at financial institutions and state-owned banks within thePRC are covered by insurance up to RMB
Certainother financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of accounts and other receivables. TheCompany does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its customers’financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
The operationsof the Company are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influencedby the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC.
Fixedassets, net
Fixed asset,net are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions,renewals and betterments are capitalized. When fixed asset are retired or otherwise disposedof, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
| Vehicles | ||
| Office and Other Equipment |
Impairmentof Long-lived Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment,for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable.If the total expected undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for thedifference between the fair value (“FV”) and carrying amount of the asset. The Company did not record any impairment for thethree months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Contractliabilities
Contract liabilitiesrepresent advance payments collected from third-party payers. They represent obligations that will be satisfied by providing servicesto the customer.
Accountsand other payables
Accountsand other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which areunpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of thebusiness if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Accountsand other payables are initially recognized as fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
9
Borrowings
Borrowingsare presented as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after thefinancial year end date, in which case they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Borrowingsare initially recognized at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between theproceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using aneffective interest method.
Borrowingcosts are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Costof Sales
Cost ofsales consists primarily of the direct material of the power generating system and expenses incurred directly for project constructionfor sales-type leasing and sales tax and additions for contingent rental income.
IncomeTaxes
Income taxesare accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequencesin future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period endbased on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Companyfollows FASB ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of atax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets andliabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associatedwith tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under FASB ASC Topic 740, whentax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while othersare subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. Thebenefit of a tax position is recognized in the CFS in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes itis more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes,if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognitionthreshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with theapplicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as describedabove is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interestand penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits isclassified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income. AtJune 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.
Statementof Cash Flows
In accordancewith FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculatedbased upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may notnecessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
FairValue of Financial Instruments
For certainof the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables,accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debts, the carrying amounts approximate their FVs due to their short maturities.Receivables on sales-type leases are based on interest rates implicit in the lease.
10
FASB ASCTopic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the FV of financial instrumentsheld by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines FV, and establishes a three-levelvaluation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The carrying amounts reportedin the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonableestimate of their FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization andtheir current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to FV measurement. |
TheCompany analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC 480, “DistinguishingLiabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
As of June 30, 2025 and December31, 2024, the Company did not have any long-term debt; and the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required tobe presented on the balance sheet at FV.
Stock-BasedCompensation
The Companyaccounts for share-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date FV of the equity instrument issuedand recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
The Companyaccounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-BasedPayments to Non-employees”. Share-based compensation associated with the issuance of equity instruments to non-employees is measuredat the FV of the equity instrument issued or committed to be issued, as this is more reliable than the FV of the services received. TheFV is measured at the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performanceis complete.
The Companyfollows ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,”which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Anentity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing modeland the attribution of cost. ASC 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services tobe used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.
Basicand Diluted Earnings per Share
The Companypresents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earning Per Share.” Accordingly,basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number ofshares outstanding, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-averagenumber of common shares outstanding as well as common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stockmethod for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible notes. The Company made an accounting policy electionto use the if-converted method for convertible securities that are eligible to receive common stock dividends, if declared.

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheetdate. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period.

New AccountingPronouncements
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—ReportingComprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU 2025-01 amends the effective date of Update 2024-03to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of Update 2024-03 is permitted.This update is aimed to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors formore detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization,and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The Company’smanagement does not believe the adoption of ASU 2025-01 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payableto a Customer. The ASU 2025-04 amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-08, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements—Share Based Consideration Payable to a Customer,require that a grantor apply the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to measure and classify share-based considerationpayable to a customer (the “Topic 718 approach”). The Company’s management currently does not have offer to provideconsideration to a customer (or to other parties that purchase the entity’s goods or services from the customer) to incentivizethe customer (or its customers) to purchase goods and services, and does not believe the adoption of ASU 2025-01 will have a materialimpact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, FinancialInstruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendmentsin this Update introduce a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for entities other than public businessentities related to applying Subtopic 326-20 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accountedfor under Topic 606. (1) Practical expedient. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected creditlosses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change forthe remaining life of the asset. (2) Accounting policy election. An entity other than a public business entity that elects the practicalexpedient is permitted to make an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimatingexpected credit losses. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reportingperiods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financialstatements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU2025-05 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
Other recentaccounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future CFS.

The increase in net loss was mainly driven by rising operating expenses and the reversal of impairment provision, as previouslydiscussed.

The Company incurred an operatingloss of $2.19 million, and reported net loss of $2.13 million for six months ended June 30, 2025.

Transfers of Cashto and from Our Subsidiaries
The PRC maintains currencycontrols and capital transfer regulations that require us to comply with certain requirements on capital movement of. The Company maytransfer USD cash to its PRC subsidiaries through following channels: (i) an equity investment (by increasing the Company’s registeredcapital in a PRC subsidiary), or (ii) a stockholder loan. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries have not transferred any earnings or cashto the Company to date. The Company’s business is primarily conducted through its subsidiaries. The Company functions as a holdingentity and its material assets consist solely of the equity interests in its PRC-based subsidiaries. The Company relies on dividends distributionfrom its subsidiaries to meet its working capital and cash needs, including the funds necessary: (i) to pay dividends or cash distributionsto its stockholders, (ii) to service any debt obligations and (iii) to pay operating expenses. Under applicable PRC laws and regulations(noted below), the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are legally required to allocate 10% of annual after-tax income into general reservefund, prior to payment of dividends. These requirements, combined with other regulatory constraints, materially limit the subsidiaries’ability to distribute a portion of net assets as dividends to the parent company.
With respect to transferringcash from the Company to its subsidiaries, to increase the Company’s registered capital in a PRC subsidiary, requires submissionof the filing to local commerce department, while a stockholder loan requires a filing with the state administration of foreign exchangeor its local bureau.
With respect to dividendsdistribution, we note the following:
| 1. | PRC regulations currently only permit the payment of dividends out of accumulated profits, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and PRC regulations (an in-depth description of the PRC regulations is set forth below); |
| 2. | Under Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS) and the PRC Company Law, our PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate, at least 10% of their annual after-tax net income, to statutory surplus reserves until the cumulative reserve balance reaches 50% of their registered capital; | |
| 3. | Such reserves may not be distributed as cash dividends; |
| 4. | Our PRC subsidiaries may also allocate a portion of their after-tax profits to their staff welfare funds and bonus funds; except in the event of a liquidation, these funds can not be distributed to stockholders; the Company does not participate in a Joint Welfare Fund; | |
| 5. | The incurrence of debt, particularly the instruments governing such debt, may restrict a subsidiary’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders or make other cash distributions; and | |
| 6. | The Company is subject to covenants and consent requirements. |
If, due to the aforementionedreasons, our subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends and/or make other cash payments to the Company when needed, the Company’sability to conduct operations, make investments, engage in acquisitions, or undertake other working capital-dependent initiatives, maybe materially and adversely affected. However, our operations and business, including investment and/or acquisitions by our subsidiariesin China, will not be affected as long as the capital flows remain within PRC.
PRC Regulations
In accordance with PRCregulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment and their articles of association, a foreign-invested enterprise (“FIE”)established in the PRC is required to provide statutory reserves, which are appropriated from net profit, as reported in the FIE’sPRC statutory financial accounts. A FIE is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the surplus reserve untilsuch reserve balance reaches 50% of its respective registered capital (based on the FIE’s PRC statutory accounts). The aforementionedreserves may only be used for specific purposes and may not be distributed as cash dividends. Until such contribution of capital is satisfied,the FIE is not allowed to repatriate profits to its stockholders, unless approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Oncethis requirement is satisfied, the remaining funds may be appropriated at the discretion of the FIE’s board of directors. Our subsidiary,Shanghai TCH, qualifies as a FIE and is therefore subject to the aforementioned regulations on distributable profits.
Additionally, in accordancewith PRC corporate law, a domestic enterprise is required to maintain a surplus reserve of at least 10% of its annual after-tax profituntil such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. The aforementionedreserves can only be used for specific purposes and may not be distributed as cash dividends. Xi’an TCH, Huahong, Zhonghong andErdos TCH were established as domestic enterprises; therefore, each is subject to the above-mentioned restrictions on distributable profits.
As a result of PRC lawsand regulations that require annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income to be set aside, prior to payment of dividends, in a generalreserve fund, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Companyas a dividend or otherwise.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash asof June 30, 2025, and a sufficient channel to obtain any loans that may be necessary to meet its working capital needs from commercialinstitutions. Historically, we have been able to obtain loans or otherwise achieve our financing objectives due to the Chinese government’ssupport for energy-saving businesses with stable cash inflows, good credit ratings and history. In November 2024, we paid the Entrustedloan principal of $10,548,957 (RMB77 million), with interest still outstanding.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosuresabout Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as definedby Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations are conducted mainly in the PRC.As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in RMB, which is ourfunctional currency. Accordingly, our operating results are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and thosecurrencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of DisclosureControls and Procedures
Disclosure controlsand procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed orsubmitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’srules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that informationrequired to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Chief ExecutiveOfficer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controlsand procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedureswhich are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic SEC reportsis recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such informationis accumulated and communicated to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls andprocedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“ExchangeAct”) at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30,2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in InternalControl over Financial Reporting
With the participationof the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, the Company also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended as of June30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financialreporting. Based on such evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, there have not beenany changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likelyto materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitationson Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, includingthe CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detectall error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurancethat the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issuesand instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions aboutthe likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potentialfuture conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controlsmay become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
